Proud to support the
North Carolina Azalea Festival.
Since 1948, the North Carolina Azalea Festival has encouraged
volunteerism and civic participation as it contributes to the region’s
economy and promotes the unique qualities of Wilmington’s
river-to-the-sea community.
We applaud the staff of North Carolina Azalea Festival for living their
mission each and every day.
“To be nationally recognized as a showcase for the community’s rich
array of artwork, gardens, history and culture through recreational,
educational and family-oriented events.”
BB&T. Proud supporter of the North Carolina Azalea Festival.

Queen Azalea Mallory Hagan
Be Kind. Be Courageous. Be You. became Mallory’s mantra during her reign as Miss America 2013 and continues to be
her philosophy on life today. Through her participation in the Miss America Organization, she found her passion in advocacy, most
specifically for education in regard to Child Sexual Abuse. In addition to child abuse, Mallory has become a voice for confidence, selfacceptance and body-image, as well. In an effort to share her story, Mallory has been featured on national television shows such as Good
Morning America!, The View, Wendy Williams and Anderson Cooper, as well as hundreds of local news sources. Now, Mallory continues
to work with several national and local organizations such as Safe Horizon, Prevent Child Abuse America and is one of the Nationals
Spokeswomen for the World Be Free Campaign. In NYC, Mallory volunteers with several other service organizations such as City Chicks
4 Charity, No Kid Hungry and God’s Love We Deliver. While serving as Miss America, Mallory was recognized as an Influential Woman
at the 2013 Forbe’s Women’s Summit. Today, being the only student in the history of the Fashion Institute of Technology to receive the
Presidential Award while enrolled, Mallory continues her education utilizing her Miss America Scholarship while continuing to pursue
opportunities to influence others through media platforms.

The
Summerall
Guards
42 | 2015 Souvenir Book
Composed of 61 members of the First Class (Senior), the Summerall Guards represent
the ultimate achievement in the military phase of cadet life.
Selection for membership in the Guards is rigorous, and only those who
demonstrate the highest military standards are chosen.
The intricate maneuvers performed by the Guards, the Citadel Series, is
completed without any verbal commands. Many hours of practice are required to
achieve the peak of perfection.
Each man works as a small part of a single unit, contributing to an overall
image of exactness, precision, and military spit and polish.

Cap
Beautiful young girls wearing hoop-skirted Antebellum dresses
first appeared as greeters in the gardens during the Cape Fear Garden Club
Azalea Garden Tour in 1969. Mrs. Harley Vance then president of the Cape
Fear Garden Club, is credited with introducing this idea. Seven young
ladies, five of whom were daughters of club members, donned dresses worn
to a southern ball or made by Mrs. Augusta Counts. When the girls sat in
the gardens that year, the concept of the Cape Fear Garden Club, Inc. Azalea
Belles was born.
The Belles have grown from that original seven to one hundred thirty-six
in 2014 Most of the dresses worn today are supplied by three approved
dressmakers, Alma Fennell, Kay Counts Godwin, and Debbie Scheu. The
Azalea Belles have truly become ambassadors for the city of Wilmington
and have come to symbolize the festival season as much as the flowers they
represent. The Azalea Belles enhance the beauty of many events during the
festival, but their primary duty continues to be as greeters to visitors in the
gardens on the Azalea Garden Tour.
Azalea Belles must be sponsored by a member of the Cape Fear Garden
Club. Priority is given to daughters and granddaughters of club members,
followed by high school seniors and juniors who live in New Hanover
County. The Azalea Belle Committee is chaired by Cape Fear Garden Club
members: Karen Smith, Chair, Linda McCall and Heda Walrep, co-chairs.
